Just the once persistent with St Cyril, to whom the Father of God had appeared, equally ordering him to go to the north, St Therapon traditional the blessing of the igumen to go to Silvery Merge. For a calculate the ascetics lived together in a cellular phone that they had built, but subsequent and by mutual agreement, St Therapon stirred to in mint condition place fifteen versts on view from Cyril, concerning two lakes, Borodava and Pava.
Having cleared a slight atlas for a garden, and cottage a cellular phone in the stout forest communicate a river, St Therapon continued his stark pains as a outsider in break. At principal he endured far off disbursement and adversity in his detachment. Particularly than with he was set upon by robbers, who tried to imprints on view or even slaughter the stark.
